My boyfriend and I have been going out for about four months. I totally like him, and I think he feels the same way. I really want to kiss him, but he's super shy and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't make the first move. I don't know how I can do it without seeming really pushy.

So many girls just sit around waiting for their shy guy to overcome his fears. When you do finally make the first move, not only you but also your boyfriend will probably be very relieved. I, unfortunately, cannot give specifics about how to kiss (you'll just have to do what feels right!), but I can suggest picking a good time. When you know no one is going to barge in, where your friends won't start giggling in the background, etc. You can move closer to him if you're sitting near each other, or maybe grab his hand, or give him a big hug. It's even okay to ask, "Can I kiss you?" Many a romantic movie scene has started with this type of request. But whatever you do, don't be discouraged if at first he seems taken aback. He's probably nervous, too, and doesn't want to seem like he doesn't know what he is doing. He may also be so surprised that he doesn't know what to do. If his initial reaction doesn't follow the romantic script you had in your head, don't give up. Love and kisses can be awkward and feel silly. You both may have a little awkwardness, but he'll probably roll with it soon enough, and you'll be smooching away. And if for some reason he cannot deal with an assertive, confident girl, then it could be a signal that it's time to move on. But I don't think this will happen, because pretty much every single one of my girlfriends has had to plant one on a guy at some point in their lives. Happy kissing!
